How it works
1
Authenticate
Every request needs an API key or OAuth Bearer token. Generate your key in the dashboard.
2
Call an endpoint
Hit a REST endpoint or invoke an MCP tool. Pass a handle, keyword, or category — get back a fully parsed JSON object.
3
Use the data
Pipe it into your database, analysis pipeline, AI agent, or product — no post-processing needed.
Access methods
REST API
Standard HTTP endpoints with OpenAPI documentation. Works with any language or HTTP client.
MCP
Native MCP tools for AI agents. Drop ScoutLayer into Claude, Cursor, or any MCP-compatible host.
Credits
Each successful API call consumes 1 credit. Credits reset monthly on your billing date. Top up or upgrade in the dashboard.Free tier includes 100 credits/month. No credit card required to start.
